Longing

[Words and Music by Michael Kiske]



Feelings come and go - I've never known,

Something longs to grow - won't let go.

Spirits around my head - are whispering,

I turn inside instead - of wondering.

Deep inside of me - I know there's got to be,

A different kind of truth - that sets the spirit free.

If I don't wanna know - what's written inside me,

How could I see anything - how could I be anything ?

Restless minds have searched - long before,

The truth will be same - for evermore.

The mightiness of trees - that you can feel,

Can give you all you need - just listen still.

Here is love and there is pain.

It's all around, it's all the same,

There's nothing new that I cuold tell to you.

But still there is the universe inside of us that never bursts,

We might not know the mining yet, but I am sure we can't reject

The truth that is in everything - that is and has been and will be.

There is a long way to go - there is a high place to know,

There is a world to go through - but there's so much more to do

Until we're home !

Deep inside of me - I know there's got to be,

A different kind of truth - that sets the spirit free.

If I don't wanna know - what's written inside me,

How could I see anything - how could I be anything ?

Feelings come and go - I've never known...
